据洛杉矶市政记录显示，该市建筑检查员已对上周发生火灾并引发健康危害紧急情况的一处仓库展开涉嫌未获许可施工的调查。
该市建筑与安全部门于6月17日启动调查，当天这场火灾烧毁了这座位于博伊尔高地、占地50万平方英尺的冷藏仓库屋顶上的数十块太阳能板。
这场顽强的大火耗时八天才被扑灭，并促使加州州长加文·纽som发布就地避难令和紧急状态宣言。
一位熟悉洛杉矶消防局消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，2024年8月该屋顶曾发生过火灾，当时消防人员迅速将其扑灭，此后人们首次对太阳能板的安全性产生担忧。
该物流公司Lineage的首席财务官罗伯特·克里西在2024年11月的财报电话会议中透露，此前那场火灾给运营该仓库的物流公司造成了约600万美元的损失。
尽管2024年的火灾造成了损失，但查阅市政记录后发现，没有Lineage或其他相关公司在火灾后获得维修许可的记录。2024年之后也没有关于该屋顶的建筑检查记录。
“当这场新火灾发生时，参与过2024年火灾调查的人员都觉得似曾相识，”一位了解此次2024年火灾调查情况的消息人士表示。由于未获公开发言授权，该消息人士要求匿名。“看来当初那场火灾的教训完全没有被吸取。”

市政记录于周四显示，针对该仓库“未获许可或未经过检查即进行施工”的指控正处于调查中。
Lineage在一份声明中表示，他们“认为火灾始于屋顶，当时太阳能阵列所有者阿尔特斯电力公司正在进行测试”。
在回应哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的提问时，Lineage的一位发言人表示，阿尔特斯电力公司“是该太阳能阵列的所有者，负责其设计、安装、运营、维护和维修”。
当被问及2024年的维修是否需要许可或是否已获得许可时，阿尔特斯电力公司的发言人珍妮·沃拉纳基斯表示：“由于此事仍在处理中，包括可能涉及诉讼，我们目前无法对此置评。”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系洛杉矶建筑与安全部门请其置评。
阿尔特斯电力公司于周二发布声明称，上周火灾的起因“尚未确定”。
声明中写道：“我们首要关心的是博伊尔高地的居民、所有受这场火灾影响的人，以及为控制火势奋战的消防员。”声明补充道：“我们将全力配合当局开展调查。”
周一，Lineage告诉哥伦比亚广播公司洛杉矶分社，该建筑的所有者是Chill Build Los Angeles I, LLC，屋顶上的太阳能阵列所有者是阿尔特斯电力公司的子公司Los Palos Street Operating, LLC。该建筑的太阳能承包商是皮尔斯公司，也就是世邦魏理仕的一家子公司。
记录显示，该市于2020年7月向Chill Build的所有者发放了在该建筑加装“屋顶光伏太阳能系统”的许可。
熟悉2024年火灾调查的消息人士表示，在此次新火灾发生后，市政检查人员现在对该公司如何处理上次事故后的恢复工作提出了疑问。
自称是全球最大冷藏设施所有者的Lineage，2024年在华盛顿州芬利的另一处仓库也发生过火灾，火势蔓延至整栋建筑并燃烧了两个月。
据西北公共广播电台的报道，该事件发生后，当地居民报告出现了肺气肿、肺炎、支气管炎和鼻窦感染等病症，并认为火灾产生的烟雾是致病原因。
代表就此火灾起诉Lineage的居民的律师威尔·赛克斯表示，加州的这座仓库引发了更多疑问。
“有必要进行彻底调查，弄清楚为什么两年内同一屋顶会发生两次火灾，”赛克斯告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。

Lineage在给《洛杉矶时报》的一份声明中表示，“员工和我们服务社区的健康与安全是我们的首要任务”，并称其“工伤和疾病事故率”比行业平均水平低14%。
洛杉矶消防局队长安东尼·塔布斯告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，经过一周的扑救，博伊尔高地的火灾现已得到控制。
“我们希望本周末能将现场移交给租户，”他说。“目前我们正按计划推进。”
Lineage表示，作为预防措施，已将该场地制冷系统中使用的氨等危险化学品转移出现场。
火灾产生的烟雾飘散至全市各地，促使纽som和洛杉矶市长凯伦·巴斯于周六宣布博伊尔高地地区进入紧急状态，以动用州级资源应对灾情。
消防官员在周二的一份通知中表示，“烟雾状况已显著改善，随着灭火作业的继续，周边社区的空气质量应该会有所好转”。
太阳能承包商皮尔斯公司告诉《洛杉矶时报》，火灾发生当天，该公司有四名员工在现场。
加州职业安全与健康分局表示，他们正在就此次火灾对Lineage和皮尔斯公司展开调查。
Los Angeles investigating alleged unpermitted construction at warehouse involved in massive fire

Los Angeles building inspectors have launched an investigation into alleged unpermitted construction at a warehouse that erupted in flames last week causing a health hazard emergency, city records show.
The city’s Department of Building and Safety opened the probe on June 17, the same day a fire tore through dozens of solar panels on the roof of the 500,000-square-foot cold storage warehouse in Boyle Heights.
The stubborn blaze took eight days to extinguish and prompted a shelter-in-place order and state of emergency declaration by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Concerns first surfaced about the safety of the solar panels following an August 2024 fire on the same roof, which was quickly extinguished by firefighters at the time, a source close to the Los Angeles Fire Department told CBS News.
The earlier blaze cost the logistics company running the warehouse, Lineage, around $6 million, its chief financial officer Robert Crisci revealed in a November 2024 earnings call.
Despite the damage in the 2024 fire, a review of city records showed no record of Lineage or other companies involved obtaining permits for repairs after that fire. There are also no records of building inspections of the roof from 2024 onwards.
“When this new fire happened, people who had done that inspection felt it was déjà vu,” said the source briefed on the investigation of the 2024 fire. The source asked not to be named as they were not authorized to speak publicly. “It seems like the initial fire lessons were never learned.”

City records indicated Thursday that a claim of “construction done without permits or inspections” at the warehouse is “under investigation.”
In a statement, Lineage said they “believe the fire started on the roof when the owner of the solar array, Altus Power, was doing tests.”
Responding to CBS News’ questions, a Lineage spokesperson said Altus is “the owner of the array that is responsible for its design, installation, operation, maintenance, and repair.”
When asked whether permits were required or obtained for the 2024 repairs, Altus spokesperson Jenny Volanakis said: “Due to the ongoing nature of this matter, including potential litigation, we are unable to comment on it at this time.”
CBS News has contacted the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety for comment.
Altus released a statement on Tuesday saying the cause of the fire last week has “yet to be determined”.
“Our first concern is for the residents of Boyle Heights, everyone affected by this fire, and for the firefighters working to contain it,” the statement said, adding, “We are cooperating fully with the authorities as they investigate.”
On Monday, Lineage told CBS LA that the building is owned by Chill Build Los Angeles I, LLC, and that the solar array on the building is owned by Los Palos Street Operating, LLC, a subsidiary of Altus Power. The building’s solar contractor is Pearce, which is a subsidiary of CBRE.
The city issued the Chill Build owner a permit to add a “rooftop PV solar system” to the building in July 2020, records show.
The source familiar with the 2024 fire probe said city inspectors now have questions following this new blaze about how the company handled the recovery from the last incident.
Lineage, which describes itself as the world’s largest owner of cold storage facilities, experienced a fire at another of its warehouses, in Finley, Washington, which ripped through the entire building and burned for two months in 2024.
Local residents there have since reported emphysema, pneumonia, bronchitis and sinus infections following the incident, and believe smoke from the fire is the cause, according to a report by Northwest Public Broadcasting.
Attorney Will Sykes, who is representing residents suing Lineage over that fire, says the California warehouse raises more questions.
“It warrants a thorough investigation to see why there were two fires on the same roof over a two-year period,” Sykes told CBS News.

Lineage said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times that the “health and safety of our employees and the communities we serve is our top priority,” and that its “incident rate” of workplace injury and illness is 14% lower than the industry average.
LAFD Capt. Anthony Tubbs told CBS News the fire in Boyle Heights is now under control, after a week of battling the blaze.
“Our hope is finally, by the end of this week, to turn over to the tenant,” he said. “Right now, we are on track to do just that.”
Lineage said dangerous chemicals such as ammonia have been transported away from the site as a precaution. Ammonia was used in the site’s refrigeration systems.
The fire and resultant smoke that drifted across the city prompted Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to declare a state of emergency in the Boyle Heights neighborhood on Saturday, unlocking state resources to tackle it.
In a notice on Tuesday, fire officials said that “smoke conditions have improved significantly, and the surrounding community should notice better air quality as firefighting operations continue.”
Pearce, the solar contractor, told the LA Times four of its staff were on-site the day the fire started last week.
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health says it is inspecting both Lineage and Pearce in connection with the fire.
